Slave-Girls and Amazons
2011
When the Hedral Watcher was in need of a warrior to defeat an all-powerful warlock, he knew that Thane - a lethal intergalactic mercenary - was just the man for the job. Unfortunately, he ended up with an amiable drunk, an inept wizard with an inferiority complex, and a blonde Amazon squeezed into a tiny squirrel-skin bikini. As the omniscient being of the planet, the Watcher had a funny feeling that it would all end in tragedy, unless Thane was able to vanquish the Warlock before his woefully inadequate substitutes stumbled upon his adversary's mountain fortress. But the band of fearless Warlock hunters had other ideas. How hard could it be to defeat a one thousand year old shape-shifting Warlock and his army of battle-hardened troll-corpses? This is the story of their trials and tribulations, as they romp through a Tolkienesque landscape peopled by the Weird and Wonderful, such as witches seeking men to ride for the donkey-derby; a psychotic forester with a skeletal wife and a sinister fascination in wood-work; a band of trolls on the lookout for virgins to sacrifice to celebrate Thursdays; and more skimpily dressed Amazons than you can shake a spear at..... Laugh-out-loud fantasy, which made the Top 10 in the Amazon.co.uk Kindle Contemporary Fantasy bestsellers rankings between June and September 2012. The sequel, "Cave-Trolls and Amazons", was published in November 2012, with further titles to follow.

Cave-Trolls and Amazons
2012
Two armies square up across the Forest battlefield; trolls and wizards on the one side, witches and Amazons on the other. Both have their very own captive Watcher in tow for good measure. No-one realises that it has been pre-ordained that each and every one of them will die before the battle has run its course. Only a handful of people stand between them and oblivion, but each of them has problems of their own. Halfshaft, a failed wizard, is trapped in the Underworld, ensnared by an amorous blood-sucking succubus, with her jealous and insecure incubus-husband looking on. Takina, a blonde Amazon in the tiniest of fur bikinis, has been abducted by trollesses and set to work at a desert sex-slave market. But she is not about to take this lying down. Rod, whose dearest wish is to get back down the pub before last orders, has been co-opted on to a small but select band of witches' donkeys, at least until something better comes along. "Cave-Trolls and Amazons" is a colourful and imaginative quest-fantasy romp, stuffed full with bawdy British humour. Sheer unbridled escapism from the author of "Slave-Girls and Amazons".

The Halfshaft Games
2013
The Games have commenced. A contest of strength, of courage, of the sheer will to survive, all for the amusement of the bloodthirsty masses at home. And only two people will make it out of the brooding forest alive. As a brutal troll pursues a brace of dwarfs, and the Queen of the Amazons hunts down elves and witches, Halfshaft the befuddled wizard runs for his life. His only companion is Cherry, his self-obsessed, bikini-clad team-mate. Together, they attempt to survive against everything the Games can throw at them. And to resist the urge to throttle each other in the meantime. Colourful humorous fantasy/parody by the author of "Slave-Girls and Amazons". Please note that this book contains humour which is unsuitable for children.
